    because russia helps them to take power via online botnets

    What makes you think the richest country in the world doesn’t have the power to create such botnets in the first place and relies on Russia?

      They have their own botnets but they also use russian ones. It’s not mutually exclusive. The volume of bullshit matters.

        Ok, now, do you have reliable numerical information comparing the volume of US vs Russian botnets? And by reliable, I mean taking into account that the US propaganda apparatus is much better funded and refined and less prone to being caught red handed. A good example of a good study would be to compare demonstrably pro-US-geopolitical-interest-netbots vs pro-Russian ones

          What does pro-USA propaganda has to do with personal media power of MAGA election campaign? They weren’t even at power to control the state propaganda before they won the elections.
